Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.17G047300
• Gene Symbol: GmDREB3
• Gene Name: dehydration-responsive element binding protein 3
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• Cold-induced modulation and functional analyses of the DRE-binding transcription factor gene, GmDREB3, in soybean.
• This response was similar to those of members in the A-1 subgroup and different from those of other members in the A-5 subgroup, suggesting that the GmDREB3 gene was involved in an ABA-independent cold stress-responsive signal pathway.
• Overexpression of GmDREB3 enhanced tolerance to cold, drought, and high salt stresses in transgenic Arabidopsis.
• GmDREB3 transgenic tobacco accumulated higher levels of free proline under drought stress and retained higher leaf chlorophyll levels under high salt stress than wild-type tobacco.
• Constitutive expression of GmDREB3 in transgenic Arabidopsis caused growth retardation, whereas its expression under control of the stress-inducible Rd29A promoter minimized negative effects on plant growth under normal growth conditions, indicating that a combination of the Rd29A promoter and GmDREB3 might be useful for improving tolerance to environmental stresses in crop plants.
